“No member of this church must ever forget the terrible price paid by our redeemer, who gave His life. …that all men might live. … ”this was the cross, the instrument of His torture, the terrible device designed to destroy the man of peace, the evil recompense for His miraculous work of healing the sick, of causing the blind to see, of raising the dead. This was the cross on which He hung and died on Golgotha’s lonely summit. ”We cannot forget that. We must never forget it, for here our Savior, our redeemer, the Son of God, gave himself, a vicarious sacrifice for each of us.”
— Gordon B. Hinckley
Jesus Christ is front and center for members of the Church of Jesus Christ! He is key to the Plan of Salvation, the focus of our covenants, both at baptism and in the temple, and He is the only way any of us can return to our Heavenly Parents. When we forget that, or choose another way, it’s like we struck another nail into that cross. Focus on Him, Learn of Him, Follow Him!!
